This Fourth Edition of Engineering Design Methods: Strategies for Product Design retains its original three-part structure: an introduction to designing that sets the scene for the methods, an extended presentation of design methods that constitutes the book's core, and a view of these methods in the broader context of managing the overall design process. The Fourth Edition of this important and integral engineering design textbook contains new case studies, examples, and problems as well as a significant new chapter presenting the User Scenarios Method.
